serveraction

Description

Enables you to perform power management operations on the blade system.

To run this subcommand, you must have the Execute Server Control Commands permission.

racadm serveraction <action> -f

<action> — Specifies the power management operation to perform. The options are:
hardreset — Performs a force reset (reboot) operation on the managed system.
powercycle — Performs a power-cycle operation on the managed system. This action is similar to pressing the power button on the system's front panel to turn off and then turn on the system.
powerdown — Powers down the managed system.
powerup — Powers up the managed system.
powerstatus — Displays the current power status of the server (ON or OFF).
graceshutdown — Performs a graceful shutdown of the server. If the operating system on the server cannot shut down completely, then this operation is not performed.
nmi — Generates the Non-masking interrupt (NMI) to halt the system operation. The NMI sends a high-level interrupt to the operating system, which causes the system to halt the operation to allow critical diagnostic or troubleshooting activities.
-f — Force the server power management operation. (Applicable only for the PowerEdge-VRTX platform. Used with powerdown, powercycle, and hardreset options.)

Note: The action powerstatus is not allowed with -f option.

Displays an error message if the requested operation is not completed, or a success message if the operation is completed.
